our roots entangled underground
in ways that only roots can tell.
The years may take us to different places,
the winds may bend us differently,

the way it made the street an impressionist painting—
the umbrellas moving like a colony of birds,
the lights in puddles wavering and fainting.
There is a quality of afternoon in rain...

without once considering the glass—

already shaped by its syllabic flame.
